Note 484 — Chapter XVII · MOTORING IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Referring to the discovery of the word Eden—Edina—in cuneiform inscriptions the distinguished Assyriologist, T. G. Pinches, op. cit., p. 72, writes: “That we shall ultimately find other instances of Eden as a geographical name, occurring by itself and not in composition with another word, as in the expression Sipar Edina, and even a reference to gannat Edinni, ‘the Garden of Eden,’ is to be expected.”
